In total, just over 40 hl were produced, with lambic from March 2014. One third of the production was exported to the United States, the rest was distributed elsewhere. The last time Oude Kriek from De Troch brewery was made was somewhere in the eighties of the 20th century.

Tasting at Matt’s, corked bottle
Dark blood color. Very nice aroma, cherry pits, tannins, then more funky notes come in, till when it almost smells like ass and manure (in a good way ;-). The flavor is much less interesting, just abrasive lemony acidity, moderate cherry flavor, no real depth, some astringency.
Good, nothing special.

375mL bottle, pours a deep cherry red with a small off-white head. Aroma brings out lovely tart dark cherries, a wonderful funk, and just a touch of vinegar. Flavour is a little more vinegary, with balsamic, light funk and tart dark cherries. A little less complex, with a finish of balsamic and subdued tart cherries. Not the most complex kriek out there, but it's nicely brewed.

Bottled at TNOD(U)RBSG2016. Cloudy pale ruby, small head. Lemony cherry aroma. Tart and quite slender with crisp, rounded mouthfeel. Pungent citric acid, some balsamic cherries. Falls way short of the prime examples of the style.
